The best goal that can be scored in soccer, that takes the least amount of skill, is the header. A header should be performed when someone kicks the ball in the air and you cannot kick it with your feet.

Steps

1

Locate the ball

2

Position yourself square to the ball as it arrives.

3

Either standing or jumping, bend at the waist and thrust your upper body toward the ball.

4

As you feel the ball hitting your head, quickly turn your head to face the goal. Hit the ball, don't just let the ball hit you. Keep your eyes open all the way through contact, so you don't "whiff" or have the ball hit you in the nose.

5

You want to strike the ball with your forehead at a point just above the midpoint of the ball, so that your shot will project downward near ground level. This will lower the chances of your shot sailing over the crossbar, and will make your shot more difficult to stop. Goalkeepers have more difficulty getting low to block a shot than they do jumping or diving to stop a higher shot.

6

Practice by having a teammate toss or kick the ball from the sidelines to you as you stand near the goal. Keep practicing until you can can consistently get the ball low and on goal.

This is not really a technique, it's just a tip on how to score a goal easily. Simply try to get near the goalkeeper and shoot next to them. The goalkeeper cannot block it unless they steal it. Here's one more tip (for corner kicks): Have one teammate stand facing the opponent's goal. Make the corner kick to that teammate and that teammate will likely kick in the goal.
